Chapter 298: [297] The Gift of the Spirit Oak Demon, No Refusal Allowed

When Cheng Han was about to reach the entrance of the Xuanzhou cabin, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The two deputy envoys following behind also paused in surprise.

Deputy envoy Meng Yi cautiously asked, "Special envoy, is there something wrong..."

Before he could finish speaking, he abruptly stopped.

The Xuanshi suddenly saw that a Spirit Oak Demon not far away was rapidly growing a new branch, extending it directly towards the special envoy.

The new branch was as green as jade, giving off a vibrant and spiritual feeling just by looking at it.

In an instant, the new branch grew to a distance of two meters.

Then, something strange happened.

In a very short moment, countless green sprouts emerged on the surface of the new branch.

The sprouts rapidly grew into flower buds, which then bloomed into beautiful flowers.

The new branch instantly turned into a branch full of blooming flowers, emitting an incredibly refreshing and strange fragrance.

After a while, the flowers quickly withered and fell off the branches.

The two deputy envoys widened their eyes in astonishment.

They saw mysterious spirit patterns appearing on the surface of the green branch.

Strange faint lights flowed and twisted on the surface, adding a sense of mystery to it.

At a glance, it was clear that this was no ordinary object.

At this moment, the new branch completed its final transformation and grew to a position half a meter in front of Cheng Han, just a lift of his hand away.

Everything was just right.

The other deputy envoy, Xiang Wenzhe, looked at it blankly and blurted out, "This is 'Spirit Xuan Wood'!"

Deputy envoy Meng Yi also looked astonished.

The so-called "Spirit Xuan Wood" was an extraordinary material that could be used to make various wood spirit artifacts.

Although this thing was not considered rare, compared to the large number of Xuanshi, the demand was still considerable.

These two Xuanshi naturally realized that each Spirit Oak Demon had contributed a little bit of tree spirit essence to create this gift for the special envoy.

But the problem was, tree spirits and other extraordinary plants were never generous.

On the contrary, these guys were all stingy and difficult to deal with. It was easy to make them take something in, but it was extremely difficult to make them give something out.

And yet, Special Envoy Cheng Han made thousands of Spirit Oak Demons "spit" something out. This was simply an unprecedented miracle!

No refusal allowed!

Cheng Han smiled slightly and waved his hand towards the forest, saying, "Thank you, everyone!"

He knew very well that during the previous spiritual tide and when he activated the power of the Divine Banyan Tree, these tree spirits had benefited greatly, which was why they made this gesture.

"Whoosh~"

Thousands of Spirit Oak Demons swayed together, creating a wave.

Cheng Han reached out his right hand and gently grabbed the half-meter-long Spirit Xuan Wood.

Before he could exert any force, there was a "crack" sound, and the material automatically fell off.

Cheng Han lightly weighed the material, then confidently walked into the Xuanzhou cabin.

The two deputy envoys exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of awe, and followed him into the Xuanzhou cabin.

Cheng Han comfortably sat in the seat, silently pondering the purpose of this item.

To be honest, he possessed the Spirit Mysterious Forest Seal, which was far superior to the Spirit Xuan Wood, so this thing was not of much use to him.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Han's mind flashed with Qian Qingqing's face.

He glanced down at the material and muttered to himself, "It would be good for making a big gun."

Underground in the No. 2 Heavenly Ring.

Dozens of elite soldiers in red armor received an urgent order from their superiors and entered the interior space of the Heavenly Ring.

In fact, spring was the least suitable season to enter the interior of the Divine Banyan Tree.

Because there were countless luminous plants inside the Divine Banyan Tree, and spring happened to be the breeding season for these luminous plants, they would release a large number of spores.

Most spores, once inhaled into the trachea, will cause varying degrees of itching and tingling, as well as severe coughing.

A small number of spores are even toxic, and inhaling an excessive amount can result in death.

Therefore, whether it's the Xuan Palace or the Xuan Pavilion, for the sake of safety, they never clean out the imaginary insects in the spring.

But now.

In order to investigate the changes that have occurred inside the Tianhuan, this group of soldiers ventured underground wearing spore-filtering masks.

Along the way.

Each soldier was greatly shocked.

All of these soldiers had previously carried out the task of cleaning out the imaginary insects multiple times and were quite familiar with the situation inside the Tianhuan.

But on this journey deep underground, everything they saw completely overturned their understanding.

For example.

The outer layer of the cavity inside the Tianhuan, which used to be loose and almost like a sieve.

Now it has become a honeycomb-like structure, leaving only a narrow passage for entry and exit.

Or rather, a well.

And the area above the well is quite spacious, making it very easy to set up defenses.

The leading centurion was excited: "This is a great thing! In the past, there were always some imaginary insects that escaped and sneaked into the cracks in the rocks above, making it too difficult to track their movements."

The other soldiers echoed one after another.

"Now that the outer layer has become a sealed structure, it won't be so easy for the imaginary insects to come out!"

"As long as we send a group of people to guard the well, even if there are more than a thousand imaginary insects, they won't be able to break out!"

At this moment.

A soldier suddenly knocked on the honeycomb wall a few times.

"Thud! Thud!"

The sound was quite dull.

The tone of this soldier was full of excitement: "This is the harder hardwood inside the banyan tree. The imaginary insects don't like to chew on it. I remember it used to be softwood."

The so-called "hardwood" and "softwood" are just verbal distinctions made by the soldiers.

In fact, softwood is not soft at all. Even if an ordinary person uses all their strength to chop it with an axe, it will only leave a slight mark on the surface.

The other soldiers became even more excited.

"It's definitely much better than before!"

"If we had this before, the imaginary insects wouldn't have repeatedly burrowed to the surface, and there wouldn't have been so many civilian casualties!"

The centurion rubbed his chin and speculated, "Why do I feel like these changes underground are mainly for the purpose of preventing the imaginary insects?"

This statement received unanimous agreement.

"I agree!"

"I think so too!"

Before long.

The soldiers passed through the well and arrived at the central cavity underground in the Tianhuan.

Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

What they saw.

A series of huge hexagonal spiral structures, like giant beasts, completely penetrated the entire underground space.

Compared to the previously chaotic and scattered spiral columns and passages, this scene could be called a work of art.

The soldiers marveled for a while and soon discovered more benefits.

"The structure here has become much more regular. It's not as complicated as before, making it much easier to search for imaginary insects."

"The central space of the six spiral columns is a passage and also the most convenient place for the imaginary insects to chew. From now on, when we enter here, we will be able to see everything at a glance!"

"It's a pity! If all five Tianhuan were to become like this, it would save a lot of effort in exterminating the imaginary insects in the future, and the efficiency would be higher, resulting in fewer casualties."

Just as the soldiers of the Red Armor Army were excitedly discussing.

Cheng Han, after half a month, arrived at the Jingshan Palace once again.

He only had to wait for less than five minutes before he was summoned by the master of the Xuan Palace, Yun Changtian.

If it were any other Xuanist seeking an audience with the palace master, they would have to wait at least half a day or a whole day.

Even Xuan Masters couldn't see the palace master whenever they wanted.

And standing next to Master Yun was a beautiful woman dressed in a black robe of a Xuan Master.

She was none other than Lan Jiayao, the head of the Tianwu Hall.

Cheng Han respectfully bowed, "Greetings, Palace Master."

He glanced at Lan Jiayao out of the corner of his eye, secretly wondering why the palace master called me here, could it have something to do with this head of the hall?
